Our current code to initialize boot_command_line is a mess. Some of this is due to the addition of too many options over the years, and some of this is due to workarounds for early_init_dt_scan_chosen() performing actions specific to options from other architectures that probably shouldn't be in generic code. Clean this up by introducing a new bootcmdline_init() function that simplifies the initialization somewhat. The major changes are: - Because bootcmdline_init() is a function it can return early in the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE case. - We clear boot_command_line rather than inheriting whatever early_init_dt_scan_chosen() may have left us. This means we no longer need to set boot_command_line to a space character in an attempt to prevent early_init_dt_scan_chosen() from copying CONFIG_CMDLINE into boot_command_line without us knowing about it. - Indirection via USE_PROM_CMDLINE, USE_DTB_CMDLINE, EXTEND_WITH_PROM & BUILTIN_EXTEND_WITH_PROM macros is removed; they seemingly served only to obfuscate the code. - The logic is cleaner, clearer & commented. Two minor drawbacks of this approach are: 1) We call of_scan_flat_dt(), which means we scan through the DT again. The overhead is fairly minimal & shouldn't be noticeable. 2) cmdline_scan_chosen() duplicates a small amount of the logic from early_init_dt_scan_chosen(). Alternatives might be to allow the generic FDT code to keep & expose a copy of the arguments taken from the /chosen node's bootargs property, or to introduce a function like early_init_dt_scan_chosen() that retrieves them without modification to handle CONFIG_CMDLINE. Neither of these sounds particularly cleaner though, and this way we at least keep the extra work in arch/mips. Signed-off-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@mips.com> Cc: linux-mips@vger.kernel.org |
